Ingredients
  

Tofu

  • 1 ½ blocks extra firm tofu (use 2 full blocks if you want extra protein)
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari

Sauce

  • ¼ cup gochujang
  • 1 orange juiced
  • 2 tbsp orange zest
  • ¼ cup maple syrup sub honey or agave
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 heaping tbsp minced ginger
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Cabbage

  • 1 tbsp oil for cooking
  • 4 cups cabbage, chopped into large bite sized peices (I used Taiwanese cabbage, but any green cabbage works)

Toppings

  • 2-3 green onions, sliced
  • 4 tsp sesame seeds

Quinoa

  • ⅔ cup dry quinoa
  • 1 ⅓ cup water
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari

Instructions
 

  • Tear tofu into bite-sized pieces. Toss in a bowl with cornstarch and soy sauce to combine.
  • Spread tofu out onto a baking sheet, and bake at 400 degrees for 30 mins, flipping tofu halfway.
  • Cook the tofu according to the package instructions. Add 1 tbsp of soy sauce or tamari in with the water to add more flavour.
  • While the tofu is baking, prepare the sauce by whisking together the orange juice, orange zest, gochujang, maple syrup, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and rice vinegar.
  • Next, sauté the cabbage in a pan on medium heat with about a tbsp of oil. This should take about 10-15 minutes to cook. Once the cabbage is cooked through, add ¼ of the gochujang sauce into the cabbage and stir to combine.
  • Remove the cabbage from the pan and set aside.
  • Using the same pan, add in the cooked tofu and the remainder of the gochujang sauce. Cook until the sauce has thickened and all tofu is coated. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
  • Divide all ingredients into 4 separate containers, and top with sesame seeds and green onions. Enjoy!
